Green Beans

I've told Elliott he can eat the entire green bean; I really have. I've even picked one up off his plate and shoved it in my mouth, demonstrating the proper (efficient) way to eat green beans. The lesson will not stick though. Elliott peels open each green bean on his plate and eats the little inside beans, piling the outer casings on the table.I wonder what this says about his personality. I like to think it means he is diligent. I am not sure though, if that is what this behavior means.

Welcome to A Gracious Plenty

This is the documentation of two mamas raising their three babes (born September 2007) in a one-red-light town in a dry county in the Deep South. We are documenting what we want to remember. We also offer a glimpse into this wonderful life we are living, so different from what either of us imagined, complete with all its challenges and blessings, failures and successes. We thank you for checking in on us.
